Alocasia Cuprea Pink Mint Variegated Corm

Grow a truly unusual collector Alocasia from its earliest stage with an Alocasia Cuprea Pink Mint Variegated corm.

Alocasia cuprea is a recognized tropical species native to Borneo and is prized for its thick, sculpted foliage and metallic appearance. “Pink Mint Variegated” is a collector or trade designation used to describe plants that may develop combinations of bronze, deep green, dusty pink, blush, mint and cream coloring.

This listing is for one corm only—not the mature plant pictured.

What You Will Receive

You will receive one individually selected Alocasia Cuprea Pink Mint Variegated corm produced by a variegated parent plant.

Each corm naturally varies in size, shape, exterior color and stage of growth. Your corm may arrive dormant, beginning to root or already showing a small growth point.

The mature leaf shown in the product photograph is provided as an example of the parent plant’s potential appearance. The mature plant is not included.

Why Collectors Love Cuprea Pink Mint Variegated

Alocasia Cuprea is known for its dramatic, shield-shaped leaves, deeply defined veins and metallic bronze appearance. The Pink Mint Variegated form adds unpredictable marbling, splashes and sectors in contrasting colors.

Depending on the individual plant, future leaves may display:

• Deep bronze or copper coloring
• Dark green or olive sections
• Dusty pink and blush markings
• Pale mint-green marbling
• Cream-colored splashes
• Different patterns on every new leaf

The combination of metallic foliage and unusual pink-and-mint coloring makes this a standout variety for rare Alocasia collectors.

Important Variegation Disclosure

This corm was produced by an Alocasia Cuprea Pink Mint Variegated parent plant, but the exact variegation of the resulting plant cannot be guaranteed.

The corm may produce:

• Strong pink and mint variegation
• Balanced variegated growth
• Bronze, green, cream or blush markings
• Lower-variegation leaves
• Predominantly green or bronze foliage
• Different variegation on each new leaf

Variegation can change as the plant matures. Purchasing a corm from a variegated parent does not guarantee a specific amount, color balance or pattern.

How to Sprout Your Alocasia Cuprea Corm

Place the corm in a clean propagation container using a lightly moist medium such as:

• Sphagnum moss
• Perlite
• Fluval Stratum
• A shallow-water propagation setup
• A light, airy aroid propagation mix

Position the pointed growth end facing upward. Nestle the bottom portion of the corm into the medium while leaving the growth point exposed or only lightly covered.

Provide warm temperatures, high humidity and bright indirect light. Keep the propagation medium lightly moist, but never saturated or stagnant.

Some corms sprout quickly, while others may remain dormant for several weeks or longer. Patience is an important part of growing Alocasias from corms.

Care After Sprouting

Once the corm develops healthy roots and begins producing leaves, gradually transfer it into a chunky, well-draining aroid substrate.

A suitable mixture may include potting mix or coco coir combined with perlite, pumice, fine orchid bark and horticultural charcoal.

Place the young plant in bright, indirect light. Pale pink, mint and cream sections may be more sensitive to intense sunlight, so avoid harsh direct exposure.

Keep the substrate lightly and consistently moist without allowing the plant to remain waterlogged. Alocasias generally perform best in warm, humid conditions with stable temperatures and good airflow.

Shipping and Live-Corm Notice

This is a living propagation product. Its appearance and stage of development may change during storage, packaging and transportation.

Your corm may arrive:

• Dormant
• Rooted or unrooted
• Beginning to sprout
• With a visible growth point
• With dry exterior layers
• With minor natural discoloration

Dry outer material, small surface marks and natural variations in color or shape are not automatically signs that the corm is unhealthy.

Open the package promptly after delivery, inspect the corm and place it into appropriate propagation conditions.

Grow a Rare Pink Mint Cuprea

An Alocasia Cuprea Pink Mint Variegated corm is an excellent choice for collectors who enjoy propagation and want to grow a rare Alocasia from the beginning.

With patience and proper growing conditions, your corm may develop into a striking tropical plant featuring metallic foliage and unique combinations of bronze, green, mint, cream and pink.

Quantities are naturally limited because each corm must be produced by a healthy parent plant.
